Should I just get Microsoft Fligth Sim for the PC?
Go for a drive, about an hour, to Nanton and check out the bomber museum They have some very cool stuff out there and there are neat places to stop on the way there or back for a snack.

This coming Saturday is the last big event of the season where they will be running up the Lancaster Merlin engine and the Bristol Hercules engine.

Take ear protection for her! They do hand out cheap earplugs but a decent pair of ear defenders for a child would be better, I think.

It's a neat spot.
